This invention relates to new and useful improvements in signs, and moreparticularly to that class adapted to display any desired printed matterin front -of stores, disclosing information which might require a changefrom time to time.

An object of this invention is the provi sion of a sign supportcomprising a number of detachable sections, each having removablysuspended therefrom a card, upon which is displayed any desired printedmatter.

Another object of this invention is the provision of a device of thischaracter, comprising comparatively few parts, each of which can bemanufactured at the minimum cost.

With the above and other objects in view, this invention resides in thenovel features of construction, formations, combinations andarrangements of parts to be hereinafter more fully described, claimedand illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1' is aperspective view of my invention; and Fig. 2 is a detail view illus-Eating a modified form of supporting mem- Referring to the drawings bycharacters of reference, my sign, eomprises a supporting member 2, tothe opposite ends of which are secured sectional depending side members3 and 4.
